I Want You Back
The Shivers Lyrics

I'm lonesome, a q without a u
I feel lonely and incomplete without you, like a word without its matching letter.

Since you left I been laying 'round feeling blue
Ever since you left, I've been feeling sad and depressed, not knowing what to do with myself.

What to do now? I haven't got a clue
I'm lost without you and have no idea how to move on.

It's getting late, and I've had a few
Time is passing and I've been drinking to ease the pain of missing you.

I got a pretty gun, you got the ammunition
I have the means to get back at you for leaving me, but you have the power to make it happen.

And we're all wrong, but with your permission
We both know this isn't right, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes with your approval.

It's a perfect crime, and I'm above suspicion
If we do this right, we won't get caught and I won't face any consequences.

I beg you check my scores against the competition
I'm trying to prove myself to you, to show you that I'm better than anyone else you could be with.

You took the best of me and you walked out the door
You left me feeling like you took everything good I had to offer and left nothing behind.

I oughta let you be but I can't get enough
I should move on and let you go, but I can't seem to resist the pull you have on me.

I'm restless, feels like I'm cut in two
I feel like I'm torn apart without you, like a part of me is missing.

Without my dead bang baby doll ingenue
Without you, my perfect partner and muse, I feel lost and incomplete.

Forget your witchcraft, and all your superstition
I don't want to rely on any kind of magic or superstition to try and win you back.

Just keep your head down low now complete the mission
Let's keep things low-key and make it our mission to get back together, no matter what.

I'm from the same star on which you been wishin'
We have a special connection and were meant to be together, like we were wished upon the same star.

And I could go at any time, I got a rare condition
I know that my behavior is unhealthy and could lead to my downfall, but I can't stop myself.

You made a fool outta me but I hate to see you go
You played with my heart and emotions, but at the same time, I don't want you to leave me.

I oughta let you be but I can't get enough
Once again, I know I should leave you alone and move on, yet I can't resist the attraction between us.

I can't miss you or you
I can't continue to long for you and miss you because I know the pain of losing you hurts too much.

I can't miss you or you won't come back
I know that if I continue to just miss you, you will never come back to me and I will be alone forever.

I know I did this to myself but I can't let you go
I acknowledge that I created this problem by obsessing over you, but I still can't bear to let you go.

They oughta put me down 'cause I'll never get enough
I know that my obsession with you is unhealthy, to the point where some might think I need to be restrained to stop me from pursuing you, yet I can't help myself.

I can't miss you or you
Once again, I know I can't keep missing you, as it's hurting me too much and preventing me from moving on.

I can't miss you or you won't come back
If I continue to just miss you without taking action, I know that you will never come back to me and we will be apart forever.
